15:40

20:40
BEHIND DOCKERS - Crozier with a flying shot at goal, but it's across the face.

The pressure and intensity has really dropped off here and the Bombers would be expected to pick up a couple of goals in junk time.
21:30
GOAL BOMBERS - Melksham marks inside 50 and kicks Essendon's fourth consecutive goal. They have reduced the margin to 48 points after a triple figure loss loomed.

23:30
Heppell has been a standout for Essendon today with 33 possessions.
26:00
GOAL DOCKERS - Pearce gets it out to Hill who auditions for Dancing With The Stars. Oh that man can dance! He gets around two and then snaps it through. Poetry in motion.

27:54
BEHIND BOMBERS - Jetta fires in the shot at goal but he isn't able to kick his second.
